Summing up 2014!

2014 End Of Year Book Survey

The End of Year Book Survey is an annual meme hosted by The Perpetual Page Turner. 
Hey guys :-) I loved doing this meme last year, it being the end of my first ever year blogging. This season I'm overjoyed to have celebrated Boarding with Book's 2nd year on the interwebs!! So, a quick reflection on my bookish aspects of 2014:

1. Best Book You Read In 2014?

IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION?? 

2. Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn’t?


 3. Most surprising (in a good way or bad way) book you read in 2014? 



 4. Book You “Pushed” The Most People To Read (And They Did) In 2014?



 5. Best series you started in 2014? Best Sequel of 2014? Best Series Ender of 2014?


 6. Favorite new author you discovered in 2014?


7. Best book from a genre you don’t typically read/was out of your comfort zone?

 To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee - opened my eyes to the world of classics

 8. Most action-packed/thrilling/unputdownable book of the year?



 9. Book You Read In 2014 That You Are Most Likely To Re-Read Next Year?


10. Favorite cover of a book you read in 2014?



11. Most memorable character of 2014?

 12. Most beautifully written book read in 2014?



13. Most Thought-Provoking/ Life-Changing Book of 2014?


 14. Book you can’t believe you waited UNTIL 2014 to finally read? 


 15. Favorite Passage/Quote From A Book You Read In 2014?


“All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.”


― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven


16.Shortest & Longest Book You Read In 2013?

20. Favorite Book You Read in 2014 From An Author You’ve Read Previously

 TRICK QUESTIONS AGAIN. THERE WERE RICK RIORDAN BOOKS, CASSIE CLARE BOOKS, JOHN GREEN BOOKS, ALLY CARTER... 

21. Best Book You Read In 2014 That You Read Based SOLELY On A Recommendation From Somebody Else/Peer Pressure:


ummm..... 50 Shades of Grey? Does that count as a peer pressure read? Not exactly peers... 

22. Newest fictional crush from a book you read in 2014?

While this would usually be under the heading of Questions-That-Make-Me-Choose-Between-My-Babies-And-Therefore-Cannot-Be-Answered,  ADAM WILDE IS DEMANDING ATTENTION AGAIN

23. Best 2014 debut you read?



24. Best Worldbuilding/Most Vivid Setting You Read This Year?
